Growth Coaching International has designed this Peer Coaching Program for pairs of teachers who are already working collaboratively and who seek to extend their practice – in John Hattie's words, become "learners of their own teaching".

The Peer Coaching program brings the simplicity of the GROWTH model to classroom teachers working collaboratively to enhance professional practice and improve student outcomes.

Growth Coaching International welcomes the staff at Macfarlane Primary School to Blended Peer Coaching Program.
